ne q : Trusted Cincinnati uanes
There are certain unwritten - we'll
- written rules in the banking BUSH
ness, and one Of them il that the ON
GERS Of . bank. who control the dis
position Of the funds Of the bank. shall
not use them for speculative purposes
Legally. the money in bank does not
belong to the depositors. but morally
and in good conscience 1t does. and
there il an implied contract between
the depositors and the bank that the
latter shall use the money placed there
for legitimate business purposes
The failure Of the Fidelity National
Bank Of Cincinnati for some t6. 600. 900
is . striking commentary upon the
danger Of intrusting money to an in
stitution whose officers have been
seized with the mania for speculation.
In response to the demand Of the Bank
Examiner for statement the Fidelity
Bank furnished one showing : balance
on hand Of 81, 900; but when he
called for view Of this money he
found that 5000. 900 Of 1t was repre-
scented by . lead-pencil memorandum
bearing the names Of Wiltshire. Eckert
& Co.. and nothing more; and i is said
that Wiltshire used $1,000. 900 Of the
banks money, and that collateras for
other loans were hypothecated In New
York and elsewhere II Is thought
that Wiltshire was in reality acting for
Harper. the vice-president Of the bank,
and that he did not not really borrow
the money, but allowed his name to b
used to cover up Harper's doings-
Il The failure Of this bank has its lesson
for similar institutions elsewhere

NEW BRUNSWICK, n. j., March H.
All the Brundage family, the only rel
atives of Denmead, drove in from
Piscataway this morning and learned
of the horrible discovery of yesterday.
Mrs. Brundage persisted in seeing the
body of her sister, although the re-
mains had not yet been prepared for
inspection. After post norton ex-
animation they will take the body of
Mrs. Denmead and have it inferred in
st. James grave yard at Piscataway.
Detectives of this city are inclined TO
believe in the foul play theory, as it is
certain that Samuel Denmead has
tried undetermined means to obtain
possession of the woman's property
No marriage certificate was found
among the papers, and Mrs. Brandage
believes that the woman was nothing
but mistress of the three men.
The result OF a postmortem examin-
alton on the bodies of Robert and Cor
nelia Denmead showed that the wo-
mans lungs were in normal condi-
ton, but her stomach and intestines
were absolutely empty of solid matter,
showing that the woman was starved
to death. The body was horribly de-
composed. Mrs. Denmead has been
dead for at least two months. Robert
Denmead's body was gaunt and shriv-
eled, the lungs and heart decomposed,
and the stomach and intestines empty.
His death was also caused by starva-
ton. The stomachs of both persons
will be analysed for traces of poison.

ARRIVED AT MUNICH.
BERLIN, March l0.-Dr. Junker, the
African explorer, arrived at Munich in
good health.
BERLIN, March 1.-THE septennate
bill was read third time in the reich
stag to-day and was passed without
debate by vote of 227 to 81. Eighty
four members abStained from voting.
The announcement OF the passage OF
the bill was received with applause.
All conservatives and national liberals
and a few centrists voted with the
majority. The minority was COM
posed of new German liberals, social
lists and Alsatians.
BUTLER AND THE IRISH DIFFICULTY.
LONDON, March 11.-General Butler
declares that the version OF his evil
dence before the Land Commission
published yesterday, was untrue. He
denies that he made any statement
about coercion. The subject, he says,
was not even indirectly alluded to
while he was before the Commission.
A scrutiny of the official report issued
to-day, shows that the mistake
arose from the blending of passage in
Commissioner Kripp,s report condemn
ing further coercive legislation with
part of General Buffers evidence. The
Conservatives assert that the Parnell-
ties purposely diffused the error
throughout the country to confuse pub
lie opinion upon General Buffers genu-
inc evidence. The Pail Nal Gazette de-
MES that yesterdays statement was
garbled version. The discrepancy, 1t
10
tic that General Butler said that in
certain localities in Kerry, Clare and
Cork, an organized stand was being
made against the payment of existing
rents, but that rents were generally
fairly well paid. a majority of the
tenants refused to pay, but wanted an
allowance, while great many others
who did not require any allowance
would pay if they dared. lie feared in
timidatiOn was rampant in the country.
The people he said had sympathy with
the National League, because they
thought it was their salvation. The
bulk of the tenants told him that
the reducing of rents and staying
of evictioeS were tdirectly due. to the
operations of the league. They be-
lieved that nobody did anything for the
lished. He said it was no
longer possible to enforce le-
gal obligations III that part of the
country. A question: That hardly looks
as if the law was all for the rich!
General BuIlen-tne law there, isn't
much law there. A short
time ago what law there was, was
really on the side of the rich. He
further said that the act of 1881,
which was intended to remedy
this state of affairs, had
been failure. He was not prepared
to say whether the failure was
due TO the opposition of the League
OF to the falling prices.
The Parnellites and Gladstonians rely
upon General Buffers evidence to sup
port their demand for the stoppage of
evictions and the early production of
land legislation.

Hung BY mob.

FALMOUTH, KY, March 1.-THE
trial of William Jackson for the muir
der of Brode Fryer in April, 1885, in
this place, has occupied the attention
of the criminal court for the last three
days and yesterday resulted in a YER
dict of twenty years imprisonment in
the penitentiary. At the time of the
killing there was no regular examining
trial had, the authorities fearing mob
violence. The prisoner was quietly
shipped to the Covington, Kentucky,
Jail, where he has been confined for the
last year. The ruse at the time barely
succeeded by the clever management
of the sheriff and other authorities.
Last night crowd of masked men
broke into the Jail and took possession
of Jackson for the purpose of lynching
him. They moved out of town along
the line of the Kentucky Central rail-
road, and Jackson was taken some dis
lance and hung to tree, when the
crowd dispersed

An EXTENSION OF TINE.
The following statement is made by
one Of the syndicate which is about to
&C Iuire the control Of the Baltimore s.
Ohio: President Garrett has granted
an extens; on of time in which to take
up the majority Of the stock, and he
would not hold on technicalities either,
regarding the exact terms on time.
There is NO opL"'n given to any one
person, but written agreement is in
tn CITY, giving a certain party right
to buy the stock. and although this par
ty Is not mentioned in the contract, it Is
clearly understood by Mr.. Garrett and
parties conducting the negotiation.
The price is not more than $40 600 900
but whether less or not will not say.
Mr.. Carrot will be represented in the
syndicate and Mr.. Gould will also J Q
represented there. The sale of the
property when eliminated will bring
about a settlement of the question Of
entering New York City and the tele-
graph and express lines will be sold
Mr. Sully has the same interest as be-
fore in the syndicate and all
interests are working in harmony.
The negotiations referring to the sale
to the Richmond Terminal failed on
account Of the refusal of the Executive
Committee yesterday to consent to the
issue of the additional stock necessary.
The stock will be paid for in cash,
which will either be subscribed for at
once by the syndicate or loaned
by the First National Bank,
Drexel, Morgan & Co., or Winslow,
Lance & Co.. who will issue negotiable
certificates for it. The probability at
present, however, is that the necessary
cash will be subscribed. The forma-
ton of a new company is not contem-
plated. The securities may ultimately
be sold to the Richmond Terminal
Company, but at a higher price that
paid by the syndicate.

He saws when the non-combatants of
